Bryan Martin - Oilfield Dad: chords

      A#
Ever since my little girl was 2 years old
D#
Been on a rig chasin that black gold
        A#
And the times flew bye
                    F
Brings a tear to a roughneck's eye
  A#
I do what I can to make ends meet
     D#
Out there on the rig for those two weeks But when
A#
I get home...
                    F
I see what I miss when I'm Gone

Chorus:
              A#            D#
'Cause I miss Birthdays and holidays too
A#                          D#
Their first words and First days of school
              A#
Ya know it's hard on them
                  F
But it's hard on me too
D#             A#                     D#
Because these callused hands and big paychecks
A#                  D#
Won't buy back the things I've missed
       A#
But I know someday
               F
I'll tell 'em someway
          D#                          A#
I missed half their life, to give 'em one
        D#
I never had
                        F        A#
It ain't easy, bein' an Oilfield Dad

I count down the days while I'm gone
She sends me pictures on the phone
Of her and the kids
And they're blowin' me a kiss
I just put on my boots and get back to work
Covered in oil, blood, sweat, and dirt
And I think of them
Until I'm home again

Chorus

'Cause I miss birthdays and holidays too
Their first words and first days of school
You know it's hard on them
But it's hard on me too
Yeah, these callused hands and big paychecks
Won't buy back the things I've missed
But I know someday
I'll tell 'em some way
That I missed half their life to give
'em one I never had
It ain't easy bein' an oilfield dad
It ain't easy bein' an oilfield dad

                        F        A#
It ain't easy, bein' an Oilfield Dad
